What is the Ivy Prehab Program?

The Ivy Prehab plan is an investment in your post-op recovery. You’ll receive concierge care, from your surgeon to the physical therapist. You’ll receive a detailed and structured prehab program comprised of daily exercises to prepare you for surgery and help you achieve your goals.

Visits range from 50-60 minutes in length. The program is typically 2-6 visits over the course of 1 month.

We want to help make sure you’re on the road to a faster recovery. Visits typically include:

  1. Learn about pre-operation expectations
  2. Assess objectives and set goals
  3. Establish home exercises with the guidance of your physical therapist
  4. Postural & body-mechanics education
  5. Gait training on all surfaces
  6. The assistive device obtained and fitted
  7. Improve range of motion and strength
  8. Safety checks
